Description: 

You are looking at a 1978 Checkmate 18ft Jet boat time capsule.

My crappy cell phone pictures don't do it justice. Nice looking Boat!

Powered by a 460 ford big block with a Berkley Jet drive.

It's been sitting for many years.

As original as you'll find. With the exception of an updated MSD distributor. I still have the original dual point for you OEM folks.

We tuned it up, changed freeze plugs, and added the new distributor.

It hit 62mph on GPS.

Not bad for just coming out of a long sleep.

Well father time caught up to the old girl. After a few hot laps the rings are starting to let some blowby through.

That's where it sits. Complete, but needing a rebuild.

Great COMPLETE project. No little parts to find. Nothing to fabricate. Just rebuild a 460 and GO!!!

Comes with a nice trailer.

Boat is for sale locally. Make me An Offer !!! AUCTION CAN END AT ANY TIME!!!
